“Science should matter to us not only because it helps us to control parts of the world, but also because is shows us things that we will -never- master. [...] Nightly - perhaps after the main news
bulletin and before the celebrity quiz - we might observe a moment of silence in order to contemplate the 200 to 400 billion stars in our galaxies and the 3 septillion stars in the universe. [...] majestically unaware of everything we are and consolingly unaffected by all that tears us apart.”
― Alain de Botton, Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion

“[...] he knew her problem was one they had together for good now.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

“A man is born upon the banks of the Indus,
where there is none to tell of Christ
And no one to read or write about him;
And all his inclination and his actions,
As far as human reason sees, are good;
He is without sin in word or deed.
He dies unbaptised and without faith:
Where is the justice in condemning him?
Is it his fault, if he does not believe?”
― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Dante Alighieri
